New Zealand Post is signing an agreement with the Henan bonded logistics centre (HNBLC) and Trademonster, simplifying access for New Zealand companies to one of the world’s largest consumer markets.
The signing, at New Zealand Post’s Auckland Operations Centre, was attended by representatives of the People’s Government of Henan Province, including Chen Run’er, the Governor of the Province.
HNBLC processes more than 90 million domestic parcels in China and more than half of all cross-border e-commerce trade.
Trademonster has a strategic alliance with NZ Post and has strong relationships with the major e-commerce platforms in China, which is vital for New Zealand SME businesses looking to enter China.
NZ Post says the agreement is a testament to the trust and loyalty that has been developing between the New Zealand Government and the Henan Government.
Chief Executive of Henan imported materials public bonded centre group company Madam Xu Ping brought her senior team here to meet with NZ Post heads of business and to consolidate the trading lanes that are now actively open between the two countries.
This deal provides New Zealand traders with simplified access to one of the largest consumer markets in the world says New Zealand Post.
Dene Green, General Manager of NZ Post International, said the Trademonster relationship, which is headed by managing director Gavin Yang, is one of the most exciting and supportive cross-border agreements NZ Post has ever had.
“NZ post carried more than 7 million items between New Zealand and China last year,” says Green.
“Supported by strong relationships such as these, this is forecast to grow by up to 15% over the next 12-18 months as more Kiwis shop online and more Kiwi companies grow their e-commerce capability and sell into overseas markets,” he says
